    Lakers need to fire Walton

    This team needs a veteran coach who can teach the fundamentals. Watching this game tonight the Lakers come out of timeouts with no plan. The players are chucking up shit shots and not even using the shot clock. Walton is a waste of time. Get rid of him. This team has some good players. He can't teach them anything

    I thought you liked him yesterday, or the day before?

    That’s what the nba is now bro. Chuck up 3s all game long. Things have changed a lot in the last 4-5 years.

    Yes I did say that but not the other day. Ages ago. He can't coach. I want him out. I will meet with magic. This shit is unacceptable.

    Cut the shit Laker. The blame goes to that bum Ball. Guy couldn't score on JJ with his rug pulled over his eyes. Ball is a complete joke.

    He is a kid. Walton isn't preparing these guys.

    Think this is a bit of an overreaction. They competed tonight. Irving made tough shots. How’d Lonzo play?

    Do you like Walton? He’s a good coach for the modern nba. Has some charisma as well in kind of a weird way.

    I like him. I think he learned well in gs. He relates to the young guys. Btw lonzo is going to be great but his shot is not good.

    He missed some layups. He is learning. I'm not worried about him. He will be a good player. Ingram is very good. Walton is clueless. At the end of the first he told Doris Burke he wasn't sure why they started so bad. Maybe it was the long flight? He said that. He needs to be more rigid. I can't stand this pussy shit. They had every chance to win this game and he did NOTHING

    I'm not ready to give up on Walton yet, but why has he buried Randle on the bench?

    Better late than never. Though, whoever has the final decision on draft picks is fckin up. They could be loaded with young talent.

    Ball is the worst shooter in the entire NBA.

    He's even 54% from the free-throw line.

    Not good.

    Lakers got pressured into Ball. They will regret it. Tatum will go down as the best.

    Exactly. Either way he is a gateway to the next guy. Magic won't let him coach for long. They didn't want to bring in a hard ass of the bat.

    With all this said big game in Washington tomorrow

    Luke screwed up tonight but should not be fired just yet. He’s still learning just like most of the kids on this squad.

    That’s not saying much. 99.9% of the league is. Randle is a defensive liability. Guy got beat up by Aron fkn Baynes cmon man.

    He is a complete joke. Yet ESPN promotes Lakers games with his face like he is a Messiah. Makes you realize how big of a joke a once proud franchise is now. When you are promoting Lakers games with a guy that makes about as much of an impact on a basketball game as a bench player from another team that plays 8 minutes.

    I admit Walton isn't that bright but you give him almost zero chance with this guy.

    Guys, settle down.

    I'm pretty sure Phil Jackson was a pot smoking clown at some point, too.

    You know, the guy Luke Walton studied under.

    There is no next guy out there. Those legendary coaches all got old. Walton will grow with this team and forge his own path.

    I think that's more likely than hiring another guy within the next 4-5 years. Don't forget though Magic Johnson is a dope. He'll get exposed real quick unless he has some really good advisors in his ear.

    Kobe is big on Pelinka. The team had some really good young players but I think they have too many guys all trying to do the same thing.

    Luke is fine. Team is young and just going through growing pains. Only a handful of players currently on roster will be with them in 2019 and 2020 when they should be title contenders if they land Lebron and another few pieces.

    Lonzo is never going to be a big time scorer. He will have a greater impact on final scores by putting up 15pts 8 reb 12 assist than 26 5 5. The jump shot will develop. Will just take time. He has amazing court vision and makes passes only a handful of players can make. The kid can play. He just needs to get comfortable.

    Randle should be playing more but I think the gm doesn’t see him as being a good fit and Luke is told to limit his minutes until he can be dealt. Deng will be gone somehow and Bogut could get a pick if he is healthy at trade deadline.

    Luke isn't the problem, lack of super star talent is the problem on the Lakers.. Coaches need players to win in the NBA.. I actually think Luke is doing a good job with what he has to work with..

    Walton looks like the head of a college program

    Lakers? Love when everyone just tries to copy GS. Think Ingram gonna be a Durant and Ball a Curry?

    Walton and Ball the face of the Lakers franchise

    Jackson is the all-time pot-head in Williston.


    Everyone knows that.
